To make this salve I wild harvest Arnica Flowers from the mountains near my home. After all these years I have finally figured out the best time to pick the flowers and of course I have a secret spot that has an amazing abundance of the plant!

Arnica has traditionally been used as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. The flowers work by stimulating and dilating blood vessels to remove congestion in an injured area.

Use it topically for contusions, muscle soreness, sprains, strains, bruises, bursitis, swelling and even arthritis. Just don’t use it on broken skin please. Discontinue use if the preparation causes a rash.

Ingredients: Arnica Flowers infused in extra virgin olive oil and thickened with beeswax.

I have found Arnica to be a great remedy for bruising. It doesn’t necessarily have an immediate impact but give it a few hours or overnight and it will work wonders!

The leaves and roots are harvested from the plant that grows in my backyard!

Comfrey contains allantoin which encourages rapid cell regeneration. What that means for you is that it will help wounds and bones and torn cartilage heal quickly. Use it for swelling, bruises, burns and sprains. It also stops bleeding. Another useful way to use Comfrey is in the treatment of joint or muscle pain because it has a regenerative effect on joints and connective tissue.

Lavender is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and helps with pain.

Ingredients: Comfrey Root and Leaf. Lavender. Both herbs are infused in extra virgin olive oil and thickened with beeswax.

Comfrey has been used by herbalists for centuries. Hildegard of Bingen, famous saint and herbalist of the Benedictines, recommended it for wounds in the eleventh century!
